JDBC equivalent of OracleXMLSave.setDateFormat()?

Question

The Orace XSU class OracleXMLSave has a method setDateFormat().
How can I accomplish the equivalent in JDBC?
The NSL_DATE_FORMAT of my server "RRRR-MM-DD HH24:mm:ss"
I have a bunch of ASCII files I'm trying to load which have "MM/DD/YYYY" format.
In PL/SQL and/or Oracle XSU I just set the date format and then execute something like
insert into myfile columns ( mydatecol ) values '01/01/1999' )
However, when using JDBC I haven't figured out how to set the date format for the session/connection/whatever globally.
I know I can use JDBC date escaping BUT that requires I know which columns are dates. If I can just set the format for the session to match the load file I only have to provide columns names and values (as strings).

None by default.
You could use REF CURSOR as an OUT parameter of a stored procedureCREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE myPkgGetCursor IS
    TYPE recSet IS REF CURSOR;
    PROCEDURE getList( recList  OUT  recSet, param1  IN NUMBER);
END myPkgGetCursor;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY myPkgGetCursor AS
    PROCEDURE getList( recList  OUT  recSet, param1  IN NUMBER) IS
    BEGIN
        OPEN recList FOR <queryStatement>;
    END getList;
END myPkgGetCursor;Use CallableStatement and specify myPkgGetCursor.getList
